Description
A course of study that prepares students to use basic engineering principles and technical skills to carry out planning, documenting and supervising tasks in sustainable land development and public works and facilities projects. Includes instruction in the communication and computational skills required for materials testing, structural testing, field and laboratory testing, site analysis, estimating, project management, plan preparation, hydraulics, environmental technology, and surveying. Coursework includes Mathematics Graduates should qualify for technician-level jobs with both public and private engineering, construction, and surveying agencies
Students may be required to take developmental courses in Math and/or English as a result of high school GPA or pre-enrollment placement tests. Therefore, the student may need more than the minimum number of semester hours listed for graduation. Consult a program advisor for more information.
The appropriate level math class should be taken during the student’s first semester, and a math course should be taken each subsequent semester until all required math courses have been completed. ACA 122 and EGR 150 should be completed in the first semester.
Courses that require a minimum grade of "C": ACA, CEG, CIV, DFT, EGR, MAT, and SRV.
This pathway does not meet the entrance requirements at any of the North Carolina public University Bachelor of Science Engineering programs. Students wishing to pursue a transfer should seek an Associate in Engineering degree.

Upon completion of this program, students will:
- Perform and evaluate common civil engineering tests
- Produce accurate engineering reports to industry standards
- Develop appropriate plans for a civil engineering project
- Participate effectively as a member of the project team
- Accurately interpret plans and specifications
